Medical Xpress / How breakfast primes the response to the hormones that manage blood sugar
Vanderbilt researchers have discovered why the adage, "breakfast is the most important meal of the day," holds weight—especially for the 1 in 9 adults worldwide living with diabetes. Glucose (the simplest form of sugar) is ...
Medical Xpress / Rare antibodies with potential to combat alpha-gal syndrome identified
National Institutes of Health (NIH) researchers have discovered rare antibodies that could inform the development of an intervention for alpha-gal syndrome (AGS), an emerging tick bite-associated condition that can lead to ...
Phys.org / Old-growth tropical forests bear lasting legacy of ancient Maya civilization
Rainforests in Central America that have remained largely untouched by modern human activities could bear the invisible imprint of ancient Maya civilizations. New research has found that forest structure in Belize, such as ...
Phys.org / Forest floor to treetops, cameras reveal Congo Basin's hidden wildlife
The Democratic Republic of Congo's (DRC) tropical forests stretch across an extraordinary landscape of rivers, wetlands, savannas and towering trees. But in a forest this vast, biodiversity doesn't exist on a single plane. ...
Phys.org / Hidden protein recycling hubs discovered inside human sperm cells
Researchers at VIB, VUB and the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology (UK) have discovered a hidden feature of human sperm cells. Using advanced imaging technologies, they discovered specialized compartments ...
Phys.org / Food innovation in your kitchen: Giving peas, beans and lentils a surprisingly meat-like bite
Separating things and then putting them back together is a common principle in industrial food production. Agricultural raw materials are broken down into their individual constituents, such as proteins, starches and fats, ...
Phys.org / Where people go shapes urban mixing more than where they live, research finds
For millennia, people have been drawn to cities for opportunities, jobs and the possibility of sharing a sidewalk with diverse and interesting groups of people.
Phys.org / Ten-channel photonic interface links neutral-atom qubits in parallel
A research group in Japan has demonstrated a world-record 10-channel multiplexed quantum photonic interface based on an integrated waveguide array, a key technology for optically interconnecting multiple quantum computers. ...
Medical Xpress / Smart walker boosts walking efficiency and dynamic balance in older adults
Researchers have evaluated a novel smart wheeled walker designed to enhance mobility and safety for aging populations. Published in JMIR Aging, the randomized crossover trial revealed that the smart wheeled walker significantly ...
Phys.org / UK and Ireland face greatest risk from rare tropical cyclones reaching Europe
Europe is no stranger to powerful windstorms, but some storms capable of causing serious damage have an unusual origin. Tropical cyclones can occasionally travel north from lower latitudes and reach Europe, where they can ...
Phys.org / Diatom sequencing project finds striking genetic differences among microscopic algae
An international team of more than 100 scientists has taken a major step toward unlocking the secrets of some of Earth's tiniest but most important organisms.
Phys.org / JWST reveals likely Type II supernova from when universe was only 2 billion years old
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have identified one of the most distant exploding stars ever confirmed. The supernova, SN 2023aeaf, was found at a redshift of 3.195—so far away that its light has been traveling ...
